This happened to me a few days ago. I went from looking at the map of the City of Miami, which then led me looking at The Bahamas, which then led me to looking at all the small islands that make up The Bahamas. Then I wondered why the largest island, Andros (technically 3 islands really close together), only had like ten percent of the total population and was very rural, yet Nassau (their capital) was tiny in comparison but had like 80% of the population (I found the answer on Reddit, essentially Nassau has a great natural harbor and Andros has dangerously shallow water, also the soil sucked. Most people moved to Nassau in the 50s from the other islands). This led me to reading all about the history of The Bahamas and poverty, which then led me to West Virginia.
